CINCINNATI, Ohio - The Cincinnati Cyclones fell against the Kalamazoo Wings, 6-5, on Sunday afternoon at Heritage Bank Center. Highlighting the game was a four-goal outburst from Kalamazoo's Josh Bloom to snap Cincinnati's four-game win streak.

Cincinnati fought back into the game in the second period. A drop pass in the slot from Elijah Vilio found Sam Stevens (11), who fooled Aku Koskenvuo to make it a one-goal game. With his goal, Stevens extends his point streak to five games.
